Hello all,<br><br>I have been trying to install PVFS 2.8.1 on Ubuntu server, Centos4 and <br>Scientific Linux 4. I compile it and can run it on a "single host" configuration<br>without any problems.<br><br>However, when I add more nodes to the configuration(always using the <br>
pvfs2-genconfig defaults ) I have the following problem:<br><br><b>On the metadata node I get these messages:</b><br><font size="1">[E 04/02 20:16] batch_create request got: Invalid argument<br>[E 04/02 20:16] batch_create request got: Invalid argument<br>

<br><br>The metadata node keeps asking for something that the IO nodes cannot give <br>the right way. So it complains. This makes the nodes and the metadata node <br>not to work.<br><br>I have installed those services many times. I have tested this using berkeley <br>
db 4.2 and 4.3 on Redhat systems(centos, scientific linnux) and on Ubuntu server. <br><br>I have also tried the PVFS version 2.6.3 and I get the same problem.<br><br><b>My config files look like:</b><br>[root@wn140 ~]# more /etc/pvfs2-fs.conf <br>
